  • Precision Measurement: Use Outer Diameter (OD) micrometers, calipers, and other gauges to verify that finished parts meet strict quality standards.
  • Machine Setups: Perform regular changeovers, adjustments, and minor troubleshooting to keep machines running efficiently.
  • Safety & Maintenance: Maintain a clean, safe work area and adhere to all company safety protocols.
Qualifications & Skills
  • Mechanically Inclined: Strong natural mechanical aptitude and a knack for understanding how machinery works.
  • Technical Experience: Prior experience using OD micrometers and other precision measuring tools is required.
  • Setup Experience: Hands-on experience performing machine setups and mechanical adjustments.
  • Attentive & Focused: Ability to monitor running machinery for long periods and catch discrepancies quickly.
  • Reliable: Dependable punctuality and attendance are musts for our team.
What We Offer
  • Competitive Starting Pay: $18 per hour.
  • Comprehensive Training: Paid, hands-on training tailored to the specific machine you will operate.
